Anti-Roll e Barras estabilizadoras para Nissan Xterra

Nissan Xterra Sway Bars

Your Nissan suspension system contains springs, shocks, and sway bars. The sway bar is important for helping you turn corners and navigate rough terrain in your Nissan Xterra. Replacing the sway bar or its accessories can help you get maximum performance out of your Nissan vehicle.

What do sway bars do?

A sway bar is part of the suspension system of a Nissan Xterra. Its job is to reduce body roll. This suspension component helps balance the car out when it is leaning in one direction or another. It can exert an upward or downward force on the wheels to help them stay even when the Xterra is leaning or turning. Many people replace or upgrade their rear or front sway bars to help improve the handling of their Nissan vehicles.

What should you consider when searching for sway bars?

Although one of the appeals of replacing a Nissan Xterra sway bar is that you can customize your driving experience, an important thing to consider is whether a part is compatible with your Nissan vehicle model.

  • Model year: To install new sway bars, they must be compatible in your Nissan SUV. Not all bars fit all Nissan Xterras, so you should confirm that a suspension piece works with your particular vehicle model.
  • Vehicle engine cylinders: As with model years, different versions of an Xterra may require different sway bars. Confirm whether a part is compatible with a four-cylinder or a six-cylinder SUV engine before making your purchase.
  • Front vs. rear: An Xterra car has front sway bars and rear ones. Determine which one you need to replace before getting a part for your Nissan Xterra car.
  • Hollow vs. solid: Hollow sway bars weigh less, and solid ones have higher spring rates. Getting a hollow sway bar with a wider diameter for your Nissan Xterra can provide balance between weight and spring rate.
What is the purpose of bushings?

The bushing is the piece that connects the sway bar to the chassis of the Nissan Xterra. It is firmly mounted to the Nissan car, and the sway bar slides through the center of this piece. Therefore, the bar is allowed a proper range of motion. It should allow the bar to move horizontally but not vertically. This suspension component can also help reduce the noise and vibration that you experience while driving your Xterra car. If this piece wears out before the rest of your Nissan suspension system, you can replace just this component rather than the complete sway bar.

What materials are available for sway bar bushings?

The bushings for Xterra sway bars are usually made of rubber or polyurethane.

  • Rubber: This is a common material because it is soft and provides a comfortable ride for Nissan SUVs. However, rubber can dry out and lose effectiveness after you have driven your Nissan Xterra for a long time. Therefore, rubber accessories will need to be replaced after a few years.
  • Polyurethane: This harder material has a longer life span than rubber, but it doesnt dampen vibrations and noise as much as rubber does. However, polyurethane can provide an enhanced driving experience.
